God is a good loving Father ❤️ This past Sunday, Pastor Bill spoke about the Father Heart of God and how important it is we see Him rightly.  Bill shared that when we see God as a good loving Father we will walk in greater joy and peace.  He also taught how Jesus reveals the Father as He came and laid His life down for us, restoring our relationship back to Him ✝️ and how agreement with The Word is essential for walking with Jesus.  We need to know that our God is a good loving Father

 Audio recordingSermon manuscript:I'd like to begin today by speaking about a detail that could be easy to overlook. At the beginning of our reading it says, “Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a high mountain.” The transfiguration took place about six days later. Six days after what? It took place about six days after Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ. I'd like to go through that history since I think it sheds light on what is going on with the transfiguration. Jesus was with his disciples and he asked them, “Who do people say that I am?” The disciples answered by telling him what they had heard: “Some say that you are John the Baptist, some say that you are Elijah, others say that you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” We won't get into the specifics of why the people might have given these answers for who Jesus was. Suffice it to say, though, that the people recognized Jesus as being highly unusual. They thought that he was one of the great prophets. Then Jesus asked his disciples, “But you, who do you say that I am?” And Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” The word, “Christ,” means “anointed one.” It also has connotations of kingship. The way that the kings became kings in the Old Testament was by being anointed with oil. So there's kingship here. Plus, throughout the Old Testament God gave his people prophecies about a coming, chosen servant of the Lord. The servant of the Lord would set things right. He would establish justice and righteousness. He would open the eyes of the blind, and the ears of the deaf would be unstopped. Ultimately these prophecies go all the way back to the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve are told that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. God's people had been looking for the Christ who was to come. So when Peter answered Jesus's question about who the disciples thought that he was by saying that Jesus is the Christ, this was no ordinary, everyday answer. There is no more important confession on earth. In fact, this is the shortest creed, or statement of faith, in Christendom: “I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord.” And Peter even adds: “the Son of the living God.” So Peter is identifying this man Jesus as the most important ever. He is also saying, “You are God.” Jesus responded to Peter's confession by saying, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” There's quite a bit that I wouldn't mind saying about these words too. To keep it short, let me just point out a couple things. Jesus says that his church is going to be built on the rock of Peter's confession. What is Peter's confession? That Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. So if you want to be a Christian, there you have your creed. The other thing is the activity of the church is also laid out. Christians, those who confess what Peter confessed, are given the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Christians forgive and retain sins. When Christians forgive the sins of repentant sinners, their sins are forgiven. When Christians retain the sins of unrepentant sinners, their sins are retained so long as they do not repent. These are eternal, stupendous things! Heaven and hell, to which each individual must go—to one or the other—are put into the hands of Peter and all the others as well who make his confession. So this was all well and good. Peter got it right. Good for Peter. Then, not too long after this, Peter will end up getting it wrong. After Peter's confession the Gospels tell us that Jesus began to teach Peter and the other disciples what was going to happen to him. He was going to go to Jerusalem, suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law. He was going to be killed, and on the third day rise again. When Peter heard this he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him: “May you receive mercy, Lord! This will never happen to you.” But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are a snare to me because you are not thinking the things of God, but the things of men.” Note how, in quick succession, Peter is called the rock and Satan by Jesus. He is called the rock for his confession that Jesus is the Christ. He is called Satan for opposing the way that Jesus was going to be the Christ. Jesus the Christ, Jesus the King, was going to accomplish his work of redemption for sinners. He was going to attain eternal life for those who are under the wrath of God, by being subject to that wrath and swallowing it up. By his death he would destroy the power of death. In the process he would look weak, horrible, a worm and no man, and the furthest thing from being a king, but even that had been foretold in the Psalms and the prophets. After rebuking Peter Jesus goes on to tell the disciples that this is not something that is just applicable to him. The cross applies to anyone who wants to be his disciple. Let me read in full what Jesus says here: “If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. In fact, whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. After all, what will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father together with his angels, and then he will repay everyone according to his actions. Amen I tell you: Some who are standing here will certainly not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” What I have just read is immediately prior to where our Gospel reading picks up today. Six days after this Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a high mountain and was transfigured before them so that he shined like the sun. I think it is important to pay attention to the link that the Gospel writers make between Jesus's transfiguration and what came before. Peter and the disciples confess Jesus to be the Christ, but they have a hard time accepting the work of the Christ. That is to say, they have a hard time accepting the cross. It seems to me that you can see this somewhat on the Mount of Transfiguration. Think of the frame of mind that Peter, James, and John were probably in. Jesus confirmed their long held suspicions about his real identity. They had long suspected, perhaps even from the very beginning, that Jesus wasn't even just one of the greatest ones come back to life. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He is the most important man ever. And they are his friends and his disciples. They'd been living with that confirmed and certain knowledge about who Jesus is for about a week. Of course Jesus had rebuked Peter in the meantime. He said a bunch of stuff they didn't really understand, but the important thing is that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. And then on the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus appearance started to change. And I think the disciples maybe were thinking, “Oh, here we go! This is it! Here comes the Son of Man in his kingdom. We're about to be whisked up into his glory! He is who he said he is! Heis the Son of God!” How thrilling this must have been for them, and they were kind of anticipating this very thing too. And there are Moses and Elijah—the greatest of the greats from the Old Testament. I wonder what will happen next. And this was all wonderful and exciting and evidently thoroughly enjoyable for the disciples. Peter says, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But even before he was done speaking things became even brighter. A bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love, with him I am well pleased. Listen to him.” Perhaps those words sound familiar to you and they should. When Jesus was baptized he was anointed by water and the Holy Spirit. At that time a voice came from heaven: “This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.” What is added here at the Transfiguration, though, are the words, “Listen to him.” “Listen to Jesus.” We, like Peter, need to listen to Jesus. Our thoughts are not God's thoughts. Peter thought that it would be horrible for Jesus to suffer, die, and rise again. God the Father, on the other hand, loves Jesus and is well pleased with everything that he did. This is true also for us with our lives as disciples, denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus. Whose life is free from misfortune, pain, loss and sadness? It is always possible for us to react to such things by passing along the pain, make somebody else bear the burden, never allow ourselves to be shamed, and instead shaming others. Living that way, living only to make your life better, tends to make sense to our fallen, sinful, selfish, common sense. Jesus, on the other hand, teaches us many things that are contrary to a selfish common sense. We should not look for what is pleasant or beneficial for ourselves, but what is beneficial for others. And not only should we look after what is beneficial for our friends, but what is beneficial even for our enemies—the ones who have hurt us. So we are in as much need as anyone of that admonition from God the Father: “Listen to Jesus.” Jesus is his beloved Son, with whom he is well pleased. Listen to him. To follow Jesus's words might not seem like it's a sensible course. Certainly Jesus's words to Peter about his upcoming suffering, death, and resurrection sounded like a horrible plan to Peter. “Never should such things happen to you, Lord,” Peter said. But those very things that Jesus did were the best things that have ever been done. It is by that cross and resurrection that Jesus has brought about the renewal of mankind. So it is also, but on a much smaller scale, and with many imperfections, when we live the sanctified life that we have been given to live. When we live with faith in Jesus our Redeemer, and when we listen to him and live has he teaches us, this is pleasing to God our Father. It might not appear impressive or honorable to those who do not have the eyes to see or the ears to hear. Living how Jesus teaches us might not even be pleasant to our own selves. Maybe we would wish that things would go differently. But God know best, and those who follow him will be blessed—that's a 100% guarantee—even if it doesn't appear so at the time. One final aspect I'd like to comment on briefly. God the Father said, “Listen to Jesus,” and note what Jesus said to the terrified Peter, James, and John. He said to them, “Get up, and do not be afraid.” When God the Father says, “Listen to him,” that includes Jesus's instructions and commands. However, it is not just those words that we should listen to. What is most certainly included are kind and tender words like, “Do not be afraid.” Jesus is not just some law-giver. He also is a friend, a Savior, a Shepherd to the sheep. We are an awful lot like Peter. We have our own ideas of how things should go. Maybe we are not the best listener. Jesus did not reject Peter on that account, but forgave, corrected, led, and loved him. So it is also today with us and Jesus. Listen to him when he says, “Do not be afraid.” He will help you on the way that you are to go as his disciple no matter where that road might go.
